It's on the first page, title "Tire and Wheel Fitment Q&A"

You shouldn't have a problem with the tires if they aren't very old (5+ years or so) and were kept inflated while stored. Visually inspect the sidewalks for cracks, and check between the tread blocks for deep cracks indicating separation. Look at the DOT number on the sidewall (usually something like DOT XXXX XXX XXXX; most tires have a short number on one sidewall and the full number on the other) to find the tires date of manufacture. The last four numbers are the DOM, first 2 representing the week and last 2 the year. If the DOT number only has 3 numbers at the end, then it was manufactured before 2000 and likely not safe to drive on.
